Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 73 Wang Xifeng's Request for Help
"Why is our Second Mistress Lian becoming timid?"

Wang Xifeng glanced at Jia Rui charmingly, "Isn't it because of your enemy? Who knows what you were thinking at that time. If you catch me, I won't be able to survive."

Only then did Jia Rui suddenly realize.

It seems that the butterfly effect of his time travel has appeared. Since he is now in a high position and has enmity with the original Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng has restrained his temper.

"You are talking, do we want this money?"

Jia Rui closed his eyes and thought for a while. Although the 3000 taels of silver looked very sweet, he couldn't do the marriage of bad guys by himself.

Moreover, he seemed to remember that in the Dream of the Red Chamber, after Wang Xifeng did this, the two young lovers committed suicide directly. Two lives are not a trivial matter.

"This cannot be done."

Wang Xifeng became a little anxious when she heard that, and immediately sat up, and then they were happy together.

"Why? This is 3000 taels. Do you know how much money is lacking in the Rongguo Mansion?"

Looking at Wang Xifeng's beautiful figure, Jia Rui felt a little hot in his eyes, so he hugged Wang Xifeng in his arms again and walked on her body.

"You, you, there is a saying that it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage. This bad marriage will damage the morality. There is no need for our family to get notorious for this little money."

"You said it lightly, but that's 3000 taels. This money is enough for the Rongguo Mansion for two or three months."

Jia Rui was startled when he heard this, "3000 taels of silver is only enough for the Rongguo Mansion for two or three months, are you eating gold?"

Wang Xifeng was a little helpless, "The production in the fields during this period is not good, and the shops are not making much profit, and the ladies and gentlemen don't know how to restrain themselves. The Rongguo Mansion has already begun to struggle to make ends meet."

Hearing this, Jia Rui finally understood the embarrassment of Rongguo Mansion.

No wonder in another year or two, Wang Xifeng started to sell her dowry in order to maintain the family.

Jia Rui felt that Wang Xifeng was still his woman no matter what, so he couldn't make it too difficult for her and had to find a way for her to get money.

When Wang Xifeng saw Jia Rui being silent, he became anxious. Then he pushed Jia Rui and said, "If this deal fails, what do you think we do by loaning money?"

Jia Rui was taken aback by Wang Xifeng's boldness.

You must know that the imperial court explicitly prohibits the release of seals. Although the powerful people of various families do this secretly, it is the head of the family who has the most power, and it is all through the hands of slaves.

Who are you Wang Xifeng? You are just a "big maid" with a key. How dare you do such a thing?
"Quickly stop thinking about it, the person who gave you this idea should be dragged out and killed."

Wang Xifeng saw Jia Rui's face turned livid, and hurriedly asked: "Every family in Beijing is doing this, so why can't our family do it?"

"Haha, look at the people who do this business in Beijing. They are not high-ranking and powerful. Those imperial officials dare not move. How dare you dare to compare with others?"

"What should I do?"

"You go back and tell the old lady that you can save money at home."

Wang Xifeng's face darkened for a moment, and then she said truthfully: "I'm afraid the old lady won't agree."

Jia Rui thought for a while, probably because the old lady is still immersed in the prosperity of the Rongguo Mansion, and she still has the facade of the Duke's Mansion, how could she agree to save money and make other nobles laugh at her.

Jia Rui closed his eyes and thought for a while, "Use the Jia family's money to buy some salt and iron, and I will find a way to sell them to the north. No matter how much money you make, you can maintain the appearance of your Rongguo Mansion."

This time it was Wang Xifeng's turn to be startled.

Although she was a prostitute, she was also the husband of a boudoir. As soon as she heard Jia Rui's words, she knew she wanted to smuggle salt, iron and other prohibited items to the north.

"You can't do this. If something goes wrong, no one in our Jia family will be able to survive."

Jia Rui looked at her frightened white face, stretched out his hand to touch it, and then said with a smile: "Your master, I am not a fool. Don't worry, this is what the big shots above told me to do. I mixed some of my own things into it." , no one will say anything.”

Wang Xifeng immediately became active again, "Then how about we prepare more? I can immediately withdraw 8000 taels of silver, and use all of this money to buy salt and iron cloth. You can transport it to the north for me. How much money can you earn for a trip?" .”

Jia Rui looked at Wang Xifeng with little stars popping up in his eyes, and shook his head helplessly. It seemed that women were born in the year of the dragon, and they were naturally possessive of money and shiny things.

"Actually, you can't earn much. This trip can double your capital at most."

As for the profits going north, Jia Rui had a clear understanding during this time.

Not to mention doubling the cost of this trip, it is normal to double or triple the cost.

But Jia Rui was not prepared to give all the money to Wang Xifeng and let her contribute to Rongguo Mansion.

Now that the money has passed, it is natural to deduct part of it and give Wang Xifeng some soup.

Jia Rui didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, after all, the spring night was short, so he turned over and pressed Wang Xifeng again.

Wang Xifeng screamed all her life and wanted to push Jia Rui away, but compared to Jia Rui, his little strength was like an ant shaking a tree.

There was a sudden knock on his door.

Wang Xifeng who was in Jia Rui's arms became stiff when he heard the knock on the door, his eyes showed fear.

Jia Rui patted Wang Xifeng's jade hand and asked, "What's the matter?"

A voice from outside replied softly: "Master, Young Master Qin Zhong has gone in."

"I see."

Following Jia Rui's voice, there was no sound outside.

And Jia Rui also knew that it was time to do something, so he hurriedly got up and got dressed.

Wang Xifeng also stood up with a tired body, serving Jia Rui like a wife serving her husband.

And Jia Rui also enjoyed Wang Xifeng's service with peace of mind.

"What are you going to do in the middle of the night?" Wang Xifeng asked while helping Jia Rui put on his sleeves.

"Haha, catch the traitor."

Now Wang Xifeng is very sensitive to the word rape, after hearing this, he glared at Jia Rui, and then twisted Jia Rui's waist hard.

Her little strength was nothing to Jia Rui, but she still grinned her teeth pretending to be in pain.

"to be frank."

"There is a big person on the top who can't see Qin Zhong very well, so he specially asked me to teach him a lesson."

Wang Xifeng is not stupid, and immediately connected today's events together.

No wonder Jia Rui was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and insisted on following people like himself.

It turns out that I got instructions from a big shot.

As for how big this big man is, Wang Xifeng can guess a thing or two.

But because of this, Wang Xifeng was also a little frightened by Qin Keqing's identity.

Although he had a guess, Wang Xifeng seemed to have no idea.

"Then you go quickly, I will go back to the room to change clothes, and I will cooperate with you then."

Jia Rui nodded with satisfaction, this is what a husband sings and a wife follows suit.

He was proud there, but he didn't know that if this matter got out, they might become adulterers and adulterers.

After Jia Rui got dressed, Wang Xifeng hurriedly put on her own dress, then opened the door and quietly slipped back to her room.

Jia Rui waited until Wang Xifeng left and looked at the room she was returning to, then walked out of the room and coughed lightly.

Immediately in an unknown corner, a boy quickly came to Jia Rui's side.

"uncle."

"See clearly, I really went in."

"Come back, uncle, I saw it for real."

"Okay, this time you have made a meritorious service, and I will reward you ten taels of silver when I go back."
